Huggies are the small hinged hoops that sit tight to the earlobe — the earring you put in and forget about. Here: Gorjana's Lou huggies and the opalite solitaire double huggie in 18k gold plate, Luv AJ's pavé chain-link huggies and the Sorrento in silver, Farrah B's baguette huggie hoops in gold and silver plus the seasonal ones (bows, chili peppers, Christmas trees, candy canes, bats for October), Leeada's Lamill enamel huggies in white and gold, Jenny Bird's Chubby Cushion and Miranda Frye's Kaia. Most sit between $33 and $95, sold in pairs.
Wear them alone in the first hole, or as the base of a stack with a stud or a second, larger hoop above. Because the hinge clicks shut, huggies stay put through workouts and sleep; the plated pairs (Gorjana, Luv AJ, Farrah B) are meant for every day. The full wall of studs, hoops, drops and ear cuffs is under women's earrings, and Gorjana and Luv AJ each have their own page.
Questions we get about huggies
What size huggie fits a first piercing?
Huggies are sized for a standard lobe piercing — small enough to sit flush. For a second or third hole, the Gorjana Lou or Farrah B baguette huggies are the smallest here; the product page lists the diameter.
Will the gold wear off?
Gorjana (18k gold plate over brass) and Luv AJ (14k gold plate) are designed for daily wear; keep them away from perfume and hairspray and they last. Farrah B's seasonal huggies are fashion plate and best kept dry.
Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, every listing is a pair unless the title says single.
